conformpath takes a path specifier to determine what kind of path 

reporting it is going to do. Backslash is only used in native_win, as

Have you noticed that you can set the background color for edit mode? 

This is a great visual clue for being able to tell if you are editing 

Maybe a little, but it's not too bad, IMO.

reporting it is going to do. Backslash is only used in native_win, as  
far as I know.

This is a great visual clue for being able to tell if you are editing

I think that zoomwindow is intended for internal Cycling '74 use only. 

It is not documented, and not general purpose.

I'm still not sure what you need. conformpath will change paths from 

one style to another, and relative to different things.

I have nothing called filepreset in my Extras menu, in either Max 4 or

one style to another, and relative to different things.

I have nothing called filepreset in my Extras menu, in either Max 4 or

At any rate, I wouldn't use filepath for this. I would send the path  
message to this patcher, and use conformpath to get it into a format I  
liked:
